v For instructions for a rack-mounted system, see "Installing the front cover on a rack-mounted
8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system" on page 153.
v For instructions for a stand-alone system, see "Installing the front cover and front door on a
stand-alone 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, or 8205-E6B system" on page 154.
20. Connect the power source to the system by plugging the power cords. For instructions, see
"Connecting the power cords to the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D
system" on page 165.
21. Start the system or logical partition. For instructions, see "Starting the system or logical partition" on
page 145.
22. Verify the installed part:
v If you replaced the part because of a failure, verify the installed part. For instructions, see
"Verifying a repair" on page 177.

Replacing the external SAS port in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D,
8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system
Use this procedure to install an external SAS port as a part of upgrading your disk drive backplane.
Attention: You must have removed the failed external SAS port before you can replace it.
Complete this procedure to replace the failed SAS port on the server system backplane:
1. Complete the prerequisite tasks. For instructions, see "Before you begin" on page 137.
2. Attach a wrist strap.
Attention:
v Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic
discharge (ESD) from damaging your hardware.
v When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control.
It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on
electrical equipment.
v If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and
installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum
of 5 seconds.
3. Insert the standoff into the SAS cable.
4. Connect the SAS shroud of the SAS cable (A) to the external SAS connection port on the system
backplane, at the rear of the system, until it snaps in place, as shown in Figure 58 on page 91.
5. Lay the cable beside the side wall, and slide the cable through the centre brace (B), toward the SAS
connection port on the disk drive backplane.
6. Push the SAS shroud (D) into the SAS connection port on the disk drive backplane until it snaps in
place.
